Rav Malkiya, of the fourth Babylonian generation, is one of the few sages whose separation from a namesake the Talmud performs itself: the Gemara sets out which rulings belong to Rav Malkiya and which to Rav Malkiyu, and gives a sign by which a learner can keep the two apart.

All three of his mentions in this corpus fall in Avodah Zarah, where that discussion stands; once he reports a teaching in Rav Adda bar Ahava's name. Beyond that passage little of his own teaching is preserved.

The Gemara itself distinguishes him from Rav Malkiyu.
